Semi-supervised learning (SSL) leverages limited labeled and abundant unlabeled data but often faces challenges with data imbalance, especially in 3D contexts. This study investigates class-level confidence as an indicator of learning status in 3D SSL, proposing a novel method that utilizes dynamic thresholding to better use unlabeled data, particularly from underrepresented classes. A re-sampling strategy is also introduced to mitigate bias towards well-represented classes, ensuring equitable class representation. Through extensive experiments in 3D SSL, our method surpasses state-of-the-art counterparts in classification and detection tasks, highlighting its effectiveness in tackling data imbalance. This approach presents a significant advancement in SSL for 3D datasets, providing a robust solution for data imbalance issues.
